Bill > HB786

This bill designates a specific segment of U.S. Highway 24 in Jackson County, Missouri, as the "WWII Robert Earl Sauls Memorial Highway". The highway section runs from Davis Road continuing east to Ferguson Spring Road. The Missouri Department of Transportation will be responsible for erecting and maintaining commemorative signs along this stretch of highway. Importantly, the cost of these signs will be covered by private donations, not state funds. This type of memorial highway designation is a common way for states to honor local veterans or community members who have made significant contributions, in this case recognizing Robert Earl Sauls and his service during World War II. The bill amends Chapter 227 of the Missouri Revised Statutes by adding a new section that creates this specific highway memorial.
